BEN WEIDE

"My aim is to get the most out of a man with each item of clothing but without dressing him up excessively."

In addition to managing wdiBERLIN, Hoba Baustoffhandel GmbH and studying, Ben Weide has long been active as an artist and designer. Various exhibitions in Germany show key areas of his work in the fields of painting and fine arts. Since 2013, he has devoted all his time to fashion design and established the BEN WEIDE label.

At the Ethical Fashion Show 2014, Ben Weide presented "Crash in the Woods“ (Autumn/ Winter 2014/15), his first gents' fashion collection, followed by „Meander Me“ (Spring/ Summer 2015). Authentic, wearable and stylish men's fashions – intelligent, high quality and entirely Made in Europe.

In response to the question as to what sets him apart from other designers, Ben Weide replied: "Without doubt, my fashion makes a difference. The designs exhibit classic lines. All items in the collection are suitable for business and leisure and, above all, are stylish with their high-quality materials and special cuts. The second difference is the result of my personal career. Because I see myself as a manufacturer, I observe the relevant values such as transparency, sustainability, honesty and process/delivery traceability. Most importantly, however, I aim to maintain a business management approach at all times.”
